There once was a girl named Katie. She lived across the street from a old man named Mr. Linden. He had many books from a long time ago. Katie knew Mr. Linden, that's where she borrowed most of her book.

One day she went over Mr. Linden's house and looked at all the books. He had a library filled with different kinds of books. She found a book that had no title. She asked Mr. Linden if she could borrow it.

Mr. Linden said " This is a dangerous book Katie, I prefer you don't"

"But why?" Katie asked.

"Because its dangerous, bad things could happen!" Mr. Linden said.

"Please Mr. Linden please!" Katie begged

"Alright but bring it back in exactly three days," he said.

"Thank you!" Katie yelled as she ran home.


She read the book but nothing bad seemed to happen. It had been three days. The day Katie was supposed to take the book back! But she forgot! As she read it that third night she noticed vines were coming out of the book. They suddenly grabbed her arms and they grew longer and longer and started choking her! This is the "dangerous" Mr. Linden was talking about. Mr. Linden heard screaming coming from Katie's House. He ran to her house and went up to her room, he got scissors and cut the vines from her neck. He had warned her about the book. Now it was too late. He couldn't save her, It had been too long. He called the ambulance and took her away. He threw the book in the fire place, he got matches and lit up the fireplace. The book was gone now. All he had to worry about was Katie.
